Frequently Asked Questions

How much down payment do I need?
Conventional loans typically require 3–20%. With less than 20% down, you'll pay PMI (~0.5–1.5%/year). FHA loans allow 3.5% down. A 20% down payment eliminates PMI and reduces your monthly payment significantly.
When should I refinance my mortgage?
Refinancing typically makes sense when the new rate is at least 0.5–1% lower than your current rate, your break-even point is within 3–5 years, and you plan to stay in the home long enough to recoup closing costs.
